Intel's new Atom processor 'Oak Trail' launches





Intel announced today that it will be launching it's new Atom based processor codenamed 'Oak Trail'. Intel states that it is available now and will start showing up in mobile devices starting in May and throughout 2011.

"Over 35 innovative tablet and hybrid designs from companies including Evolve III*, Fujitsu Limited*, Lenovo*, Motion Computing*, Razer*, and Viliv* are based on "Oak Trail" and running a variety of operating systems."

 In addition to the launch of Oak Trail, Intel will also be giving a sneak peak at its next-gen  Atom based processor codenamed "Cedar Trail". Cedar Trail will feature and focus on fanless, cool and quiet, sleek and innovative netbooks, entry-level desktops and all-in-one designs.

Oak Trail will support 1080p video decoding , HDMI, and Adobe Flash. It also features an integrated graphics and memory controller directly on the processor die. The processor is 60 percent smaller than previous generations with a lower-power design for fanless devices as well as up to all-day battery life.

Intel: "additional features include Intel® Enhanced Deeper Sleep that saves more power during periods of inactivity as well as optimized Intel SpeedStep® technology. An integrated HD decode engine enables smooth 1080p HD video playback at a fraction of the power consumption.

In addition, Intel Atom Z670 processors come with the Intel® SM35 Express Chipset, delivering a lead-free2, halogen-free3 design with high-speed USB 2.0 for greater performance and Intel® High-Definition Audio to enable premium home theater sound."
